How do I change my Maryland nonresident status for coming out of my paycheck? Should I owe when they’ve taken hundreds every paycheck for that when I’ve been a resident?

What state do you live in? What state do you work in?

As of May 2018 I live and work in Maryland.

What about Jan-Apr?

Not working. I was in a course to get a certified for my job. Considered a California resident though.

For income tax purposes, you are considered a Maryland resident from May - Dec of 2018.  You should file a Part-Year State Return for Maryland.

It sounds like you haven't had enough Maryland income tax withholding from your paycheck. You can complete a new Form 507 to increase your withholding and give to your Employer: https://forms.marylandtaxes.gov/current_forms/mw507.pdf.

Be sure you have entered your 2018 residency correctly.  To do so, follow these steps:

• Open your return
• Click the "My Info" tab in TurboTax Online (left side of screen) or "Personal Info" tab in TurboTax Desktop
• Click "Edit" next to your name 
• For question #2, answer "Yes" that you lived in another State in 2018 and choose "California" from the drop-down menu
• Enter the date of your move
• Scroll down and click "Continue"
